Science In Farmipse

Every farmer should be a scientist.
This vocation as much as OF more than
any other, presents a field for scientific
research. The knowledge obtained
may be put Immediately to practical
use. The .d~isee-eries made will at
one go to the advancement of human
happiness. The farmer-student tests
his theory by experiment. He is doub-
ly inspired to study, by that pleasure
that arises from advancing in a knowl-
edge of nature and the pecuniary profit
that inevitably results. There is an
unexplored field before him-natural
LAYS to be unfolded, chemical combina-
lions and appliances to be made. His
'labors may be decreased and the pro-
duets of the soil Increased. Many
farmers think the emily thing requisite
to raising large crops is a great amount
of physical exertion. But the truth is,
the tillers of the soil stand i'll greater
need of scientific knowledge than
almost any other class. Wstl other
men, a knowledge Of the natural
sciences is secondary ard ornamental;
with the farmer it is primary and
practical. The Journal that purPerts
to be agricultural and is nct scientific,
is like a fat-boat on a mill pone
pretending to be bound for q foreign
port.

The epelousas Courier gives the
following sensible advice which our
stoekraisers and farmers would do well
to heed: "As so much of the prairies
are being wired in by the large land
owners, and the range OF stock is be-
coming more limited every day, we
would advise our small farmers to sell
off their common COWS and ponies and
invest their money ia improved cattle
and horses. One Jersey, Ayrshire, OF
Holstein COW is WORTH a dozen creole
COWS for milk, and could be cared fol
as a herse, and afford sufficient milk
tor a large family. Raise American
korses and mules, plant more eSrn, oats
and millet, and it will be found to pay
better than scrub stock running OF The
prairies.7

NIay-Day.

Tomorrow will be May-day. OF all
the DAYS in the year there is no glad
der dav for c~hildren:'than this, the May
dav. May is amonth of festivals, and
has long been so held. Among the Ro-
mans it was sacred to Apollo, and
almost every day was a festival, May
is said 70 be d favorable month lH
which to contract marriages, but az
cid superstition holds it as uniucky
for the corlsumMation Of marriage, as
festivals were %anciently held on the
9th, leth and 18th days in memory OF
the dead, and hence the superstitionthat
of tbose who marry in May death will
speedily follow.
The modern custom of celebrating
May-day as a floral festival is in every
| way preferable. Throughout the land,
for many, many years, has May-tay
been observed as i blissful day for the
Young. From the time Of CHANGER
references to May-day festivities are

A Public Shame.

Are the people IF Louisiana aware
that a large part of the school funds
paid by them are being tnrned over to
a lawyer at Baton Rouge who charges
the School Boards of the parishes one
half fes his services in getting the
funds out OF the State treasury We
have recently learned to II HEaer
amazement that W. R. Rutland a
LAWYER living in Baton Rouge, is doing a
sDlendid business in representing
School Boards in the collection from
fhe State Of interest due them for sew
.eral years past dsWn to and including
1886. He charges only the modest
sum of one-half tie amount collected
for his services. These funds are fixed
bv the Constitution of 1879. The ap-
nropriations are made by the legisla-
lures and it is the plain and impera-
tive duty of every member OF the State
administration to 500 that the schools
get the benefit Of the taxes collected
for them. Yet, for his services i II get,
ting these taxes. a lawyer is allowed
one half! What services are necessary
Must the people pay officials to do their
| duties and then pay lawyers to make
them perform those dutiese Alas:
poor Louisiana! Overtased, beriddeE
with an army of useless officers, witt
schools barely able to run three months
in the year, yet these h~ard-earsaeo
funds, which should be as sacred al
the ashes of the dead, must be collected
of the State by the services OF an at
torney! 1t is enough to strike on
dumb with amazement and grief. W.
do not undertake to say who is 4
blame. But whether it be the Schoo
Boards, the State Board. Of Education
the Auditor or the Treasurer, we ar
sure that it is a disgrace to the admin
